Syria Rebels: US Arms May Be ‘Too Late’

The US announcement that they plan to arm Syria’s rebels and the subsequent “Friends of Syria” statement promising heavy arms to them haven’t led to dramatic influx of new weapons, and they have the rebels following up with more predictions of doom and gloom.

That’s a hugely pessimistic assessment, as territory rarely exchanges hands dramatically in Syria except at the end of multi-week clashes. Rather, Syrian rebels usually predict worst-case scenarios to try to spur more weapons.

Still, getting the arms into rebel hands is a long, complicated task, and the idea that the US is ready to have anything done by the end of the week is just silly, meaning the rebels’ predictions of defeat will simply come and go with no response.

Let's hope so. If the post 9/11 world has taught us anything, it is we like dead terrorists better than live ones taking our money and weapons and causing regional havoc.
Plus it's not all bad. The weapons can always be used on Israel. When will these Arabs realize who is playing them against one another?
